In winter, rose branches need to be pruned regardless of whether they are blooming or not, but not in this season. Many people confuse the concept of "winter pruning" and think that roses should be pruned in winter, but this is actually incorrect. Winter pruning generally refers to pruning after the rose goes dormant. Cutting off excess branches at this time can allow the rose to overwinter, grow more side branches tomorrow spring, and bloom more beautiful flowers . When is the best time to prune roses in winter?We have a simple criterion, which is to see whether the leaves have turned yellow, fallen off, and become bare stems. If the rose has only branches left, it can be pruned. Why prune at this time instead of when the branches and leaves are lush? If the leaves of the rose are very fresh and tender, the rose will soon suffer from spurts as soon as you cut them with the scissors. What is a wound flowThe sap that flows out of the xylem of the rose is equivalent to blood flowing out when a human blood vessel is cut. The resulting wound flow will have an impact on the rose, causing the loss of nutrients in the rose and may also cause infection at the fracture. In short, it is not good for the rose . Therefore, we do not recommend strong pruning when the rose is still in the growth stage. The occurrence of sap flow in the rose also indicates that it is still growing vigorously. Generally, only plants in the growth stage will have sap flow. However, if you prune the rose after the stem is bare, sap flow will not occur. The purpose of winter pruning rosesGenerally, we prune non-flowering rose branches to encourage them to grow new branches and then bloom. What is the purpose of winter pruning? It is to cut off excess branches, diseased branches, old branches, weak branches, etc., which is equivalent to cleaning up the rose. After winter pruning, it will grow new buds in the spring of the following year. With more branches, there will be more flowers . Some people ask, can I not prune in winter? Yes, I did not prune several roses in winter, and they grew a lot of new branches in the spring of the following year, and the flowers were very beautiful. Just pruning the rose plant will make it more standard, and the branches that grow may grow in the direction you need, and more buds will grow. In fact, if you want the rose to grow well, it is better to prune it. If you don't prune it in winter, you can prune it in the spring of next year. How to prune in winterSome people cut the roses directly at the roots in winter, which is too harsh and it is best not to do so. Think about it, if you cut off all the branches of the rose, even if it can grow new branches in the spring of the next year, how many new branches can it grow? It is best to cut off 1/3 of the entire crown, or half at most, leaving 2-3 buds on each branch. The crown will be formed all at once in the spring of next year, and the flowers will bloom abundantly . In short, whether the rose branches are flowering or not, they should be pruned in winter when the leaves fall off, which will help them bloom next year. |
